Light weight and efficient

For what use

That mini v8 is the most light weight and efficient
And packs the most punch for size

But it's good for bugger all

The 65lt quad turbo v16s that burn hundreds of litres of Deisel a day
That's the most efficiant light weight engine for the haul pacs

allright- how about a flat- six?

flat engines are very light because the two horizontally opposed banks cancel out each other's weight and therefore the need for counterweights is defeated

Vees'? not so much.

I'd take an inline 4 motorcycle engine any day. Moto GP bikes often have >230HP from 1000cc powerplants.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but aren't the loonies in F1 pulling three times that out of the same displacement? Or are we talking about engines that aren't made and fueled out of unobtainium?
